The Express will open the new WCBL campaign on Wednesday, May 29 when they face the Medicine Hat Mavericks in Medicine Hat after the WCBL released their schedule on Tuesday.
Moose Jaw will then host the Saskatoon Berries in their home opener at Ross Wells Park with that contest taking place one night later on Thursday, May 30.
The first long homestand for the Express will take place from Wednesday, June 5 through Wednesday, June 12 as they play six of seven games at Ross Wells, including two against the West Division’s Brooks Bombers.
